“Yes ma’am, as you can see. I lost one of my fingers in a bad sheering accident two years ago. Anyone who doesn’t like the sight of blood better stand back, because sometimes this gets messy.”
What can I say, I love taking pictures of cute girls? I have no idea who this is, but she’s quite photogenic, don’t you think? And quite fascinated by what’s happening to that poor sheep.
A experiment in using my camera’s digital zoom function, which didn’t impress me very much. Still, it caught the look of fear in that poor sheep’s eyes. Well, either fear or boredom…you be the judge!
Our real Australian sheep sheerer wishes the crowd a fond farewell in his best Australian Chinese. The other sheep behind him breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that they have been spared for yet another day!
